- Socialism Is Anti-Social
Source: Free Association
by Sheldon Richman“British individualist Auberon Herbert (1838-1907) minced no words when he spoke against socialism. After demolishing the notion that a ‘social entity’ exists separately from the individuals who comprise it, he concluded his debate with J. A. Hobson by writing something that today’s socialists might ponder. He began with the bluntest of assertions: ‘The truth is, that the socialist, unknown to himself, is the most antisocial of all human beings, and, if he had his way, would render all true social action impossible.’ Could he back that charge up? Let’s see.” (08/07/26)

- The Declaration and Dinesh D’Souza’s “Revisionist History”
Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Joshua Mawhorter“Mainstream conservatives often view themselves as sworn enemies of ‘revisionist history,’ being against books like Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Doubtless, conservative author, commentator, and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza would also describe himself as an enemy of ‘revisionist history.’ For example, in promotion of one of his films, D’Souza appeared on the Rush Limbaugh show where the headline read: ‘Rush Limbaugh Show: Dinesh D’Souza Debunks Liberal Revisionist History.’ Ironically and unfortunately, when it comes to the Declaration of Independence, D’Souza is a perpetrator and promoter of bad revisionist history.” (08/07/26)

- Fauci’s the Focal Point
Source: Common Sense
by Paul Jacob“Senator Rand Paul ‘has it in’ for Fauci — said Dr. Anthony Fauci at last week’s Senate hearing.
The former director of the NIAID and former Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden made it sound like the Kentucky senator was trying to put him in prison. But what Dr. Paul asked of Dr. Fauci was an apology — not jail-time. Why, though? ‘If we don’t want this to happen again, him acknowledging that he was wrong to fund this research will be a word of caution and warning to the next generation of people to come through,’ the senator told Mark Halperin.” (08/07/26)https://thisiscommonsense.org/2026/08/07/faucis-the-focal-point/
- Get the Feds Out of Curriculum Decisions
Source: Foundation for Economic Education
by Kerry McDonald“It is fully within a state legislature’s purview to enact new curriculum policies for public schools in response to constituents’ concerns. It is, however, not within the purview of the federal government. The federal government has no constitutional role in education. Education is not listed among the enumerated powers granted to the federal government by the US Constitution. Any authority around education policy belongs with the states. That is why current efforts to close the US Department of Education, which opened in 1980, or to diminish its role are commendable.” (08/07/26)
